About this piece
The Jackall Bakuon Pompadour Namazu Custom is a topwater lure purpose-built for catfish, featuring a larger body than the Pompadour Jr. with upgraded original props, blades, and extra rattles that generate a class-leading, powerful sound on the retrieve. Its increased weight makes it easy to trace from high banks and reduces the chance of catfish throwing the bait, while the flattened, fluorocoated barbless double hook delivers excellent penetration and durability even in obstacle-filled waters. Like the original, it swims well at low speeds with a restrained travel distance, excelling at both straight retrieves and pinpoint spot targeting.
Key features
- Quadruple sound system: prop, blade, rattle, and wing components create a loud, attention-grabbing cadence
- Low-speed swimming action with minimal forward travel for precise cover work
- Barbless double hook with flat forging and fluoro coating for solid hooksets and strength
- Highly resistant to catfish bites thanks to the weighted design and tough hardware
- Effective in weedy and snaggy areas where other topwaters struggle
Best for
- Catfish (namazu) in shallow, structured waters
- Bass and other predatory fish that react to topwater commotion
- Fishing from high banks or docks where casting accuracy and bait control are critical
- Slow retrieves and spot-targeting in tight cover
